What is  the host  name of  the machine? This  is not  a message  the VMS
version can generate. It sounds like  one of the error messages that used
to be  in the LSV$PW  EXEC on  VM, or then  maybe a message  from version
1.7f, again on VM. If this is  TAMVM1, it makes sense. This was the first
site that installed LISTSERV (other than  the place where I was working).
Exits are  never updated since the  customer is free to  modify them, and
updating them would undo this work. So they could have a very old version
of the exit which fails when the requestor doesn't have a BITNET address.

That's correct, but evidently something is wrong.
